Appearing on Desert Island Discs, Morrissey was asked by presenter Kirsty Young if he had considered "shuffling off this mortal coil at a time of your own choosing", whereupon the singer answered "Yes, I have. I think self-destruction is honourable. I always thought it was. It's an act of great control and I understand people who do it."
